SaudiThe government of Saudi Arabia signed an agreement with a Saudi construction company to build a major university for Islamic studies in capital Kabul.
The construction of the university is estimated to be between $45 million to $100 million and the government of Saudi has signed a blank cheque to fund the project.
The university will be built on 119,000 square meter on Maranjan hill in Kabul city. A hostel for 5000 students, hospital, sports centre, mosque and a big conference hall are also part of the university which will be built by Saudi.
The Saudi officials have said the university will be built with an aim to teach the students moderate Islamic studies.
The ambassador to Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Kabul Abdul Rahman Al-Ghasib said Saudi has always fought against the terrorism and only those who are against the terrorism and extremism, would be admitted in this university to learn about Islam and introduce a moderate Islam to the world.
This comes as an agreement was reached two years ago between the officials of Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs of the two countries to build a major Islamic university in Kabul.
Majority of the Afghan students are currently travelling to Pakistan for Islamic studies, which is a major concern for the Afghan government as religious schools (Madrasas) are playing a major role for the enrollment of militants to fight in Afghanistan.
what about schools for children or universities for doctors?
